From the production floor to group HQ.

UK HR Systems Project Lead

I cover the UK and Northern Ireland, driving consistent, compliant use of PeopleXD and the HR systems around it. The role sits between HR, sites and the system itself: translating what PeopleXD can do into guidance that makes sense on the ground.

That means making sure processes like probation, disciplinaries, grievances, leave, onboarding and manager approvals run through the system rather than spreadsheets, inboxes and workarounds, while respecting what each site needs to operate.

I test and pilot new features with real users before release, gather feedback on usability and training needs, and help sites move from pilot to confident everyday use. I also run training, refreshers and informal coaching for HR teams and managers, and feed what I hear back to the central HRIS team so data quality, governance and employee experience keep improving.
